Notice, if you have all these settings enabled, you can still be fingerprinted. Test here:

https://fingerprint.com/

In my tests only Tor was able to prevent that, but using Tor will give you bad rankings on payment sites like PayPal, you may even get banned there.

I learned this from here:

That site is now black, surely a coincidence. Here the archive.org link:

Have a local copy.

Looks like the source to Bitestring's blog is still up, maybe domain registration just lapsed?
